DUMMIES TAKES TO THE ROAD TO MAKE EVERYTHING EASIER
For Dummies, the reference brand with the mantra to “make everything easier” will tour six cities throughout the UK over half term to host workshops based on some of the most popular books in the range. The roadshow marks 20 years of the iconic yellow-and-black brand and 200 million global book sales.
A For Dummies bus filled with some of the UK’s favourite For Dummies books will visit the city centres of Edinburgh, Newcastle, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol and Portsmouth. In each city, three interactive workshops based on the books will be led by local experts and For Dummies authors, showing residents and visitors top tips and tricks to navigate new topics and giving them the chance to get hands-on with a new hobby. Many of the workshops are family friendly for all ages to get involved with and participants can turn up on the day to take part. iPads and Kindles will be on display in the For Dummies bus offering the chance to see e-books in action.
